The correct Answer is:
To find the negation of the disjunction "6 is greater than 4 or 6 is less than 9", we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Statements Let's define the two statements: - Let \( P \): "6 is greater than 4" - Let \( Q \): "6 is less than 9" ### Step 2: Write the Disjunction The disjunction can be expressed as: \[ P \lor Q \] This means "P or Q", which translates to "6 is greater than 4 or 6 is less than 9". ### Step 3: Apply the Negation To negate the disjunction \( P \lor Q \), we use De Morgan's Laws, which state: \[ \neg (P \lor Q) = \neg P \land \neg Q \] This means the negation of "P or Q" is equivalent to "not P and not Q". ### Step 4: Negate Each Statement Now we need to find the negation of each statement: - The negation of \( P \) ("6 is greater than 4") is: \[ \neg P: 6 \text{ is not greater than } 4 \] - The negation of \( Q \) ("6 is less than 9") is: \[ \neg Q: 6 \text{ is not less than } 9 \] ### Step 5: Combine the Negations Now we combine the negations using "and": \[ \neg (P \lor Q) = \neg P \land \neg Q \] This translates to: "6 is not greater than 4 and 6 is not less than 9". ### Final Answer Thus, the negation of the disjunction "6 is greater than 4 or 6 is less than 9" is: **"6 is not greater than 4 and 6 is not less than 9."** ---
